Meet the team

  • Liam Blackshaw

Portfolio Implementation Specialist

MA (Hons), IMC

I joined Castlefield in 2022 after three and half years working in various roles at a Manchester-based investment management company. Prior to this, I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Sheffield before graduating with an MA in Historical Research in 2018 from the same institution.

In my day-to-day role, I provide operational and dealing support as part of the Investment Management team. As a keen supporter of ethical and environmental causes, Castlefield’s rigorous and authentic approach to ESG investing allows me to align my personal values with my professional responsibilities. The company also has a strong culture of internal development: I recently passed the Investment Management Certificate and am now aiming to become a CFA Charter holder.

Outside of work, I am often found acquiring all manner of books at a far faster rate than I can actually read them. When not adding to my personal library, I am either brushing up on my broken French or questioning my use of spare time whilst sparring at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
